Structural separation for dummies

The significance of the Telstra structural separation undertaking (SSU) seems to have missed many people. This week Twisted Wire tries to explain why it's so important.

By the numbers: BT predicts Telstra's future?

A forced separation hasn't been the best news for BT. Can Telstra learn from BT's mistakes?

Will structural separation ever be enough?

Will structural separation ever be enough?

The race is on for Telstra to come up with a structural separation plan that will keep the ACCC and service providers happy. But will anything short of a full functional split do the job?

Foes liken NBN to Nth Korea, want it anyway

Foes liken NBN to Nth Korea, want it anyway

Whinging Telstra shareholders followed Malcolm Turnbull's lead, showing no shame in comparing the government-driven separation of Telstra to authoritarian regimes where citizens have few rights and live in perpetual fear of starvation, torture, imprisonment and death. As hypocritical complaints mount over the latest NBN schedule, one wonders whether we could put some perspective back into the NBN debate — or have anti-NBN crusaders jumped the shark for good?

Shareholders onside, NBN's final battle looms

Shareholders onside, NBN's final battle looms

Telstra's shareholders have voted resoundingly for the NBN Co deal, but the battle isn't over yet. The future of the NBN now hangs in the balance as David Thodey steps eye to eye with ACCC head Rod Sims over Telstra's so-far-inadequate SSU. The structure of the NBN, and of the entire industry, now depends on who blinks first.

Telstra 'blackmail' taints NBN vote: Hackett

Political pressure to progress the NBN and lack of clarity about Telstra’s commitment to structural separation will make next week’s shareholder vote a meaningless exercise that will result in either substandard structural separation or disastrous delays to the NBN, Internode managing director Simon Hackett has warned in an attack on the government and what he says is a duplicitous Telstra board.
